Kamala Harris visits Tennessee to ‘stand with’ gun control activists while SNUBBING victims of trans mass murderer

"Today, I stood with parents, students, and the Tennessee Three," Harris said on Twitter. "They won't be silenced and their demands for gun reform must be heard. In Congress and in state legislatures around our nation, leaders must have the courage to act."

Harris also took time while she was in town to address students at Fisk University, though she did not have a moment to spare for the families of the victims of The Covenant School shooting.

James Lindsay suggested that the push to back the so-called Tennessee Three is so that the public forgets that the school shooter identified as transgender and reportedly had a manifesto discussing hatred of Christians and concerns over the alleged-yet-false "trans genocide."

Reps. Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson, and Justin Pearson were cited for removal though only Jones and Pearson garnded enough votes to be expelled.

The charge against the three lawmakers was that they brought "disorder and dishonour to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions." These three lawmakers had protested along with activists and demonstrators who shut down the workings of the state House on March 30. That Thursday marked the first day that legislators would sit in session since the late March shooting.

Protestors stormed the building on March 30 and filled the hallways while chanting slogans, demanding more gun control in the state. They were joined by three legislators, who also shouted slogans, used megaphones, and disrupted the session to proclaim their views in an extra-legislative way.

Rep. Justin Pearson continued his protest right up to the point when he was expelled, saying that the House itself was the problem.

"This house has not been a place of debate for Democrats," Pearson said. "This house has not been a place for people who are transgender. This House has not been a place of debate for people who are LGBTQIA. This House has not been a place of debate for people who are already persecuted in our society. This house ain't even been a place of debate for people who were beautiful dashikis in honor of their ancestors."

One of those members of the transgender community in Nashville, Audrey Hale, had amassed several guns and rounds of ammunition before writing an as-yet undisclosed manifesto and shooting children Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, along with head of school Katherine Koonce, 60; Mike Hill, 61, a custodian; and Cynthia Peak, 61, a substitute teacher.

President Biden also made a statement on the expulsion of the disorderly lawmakers, saying "Today’s expulsion of lawmakers who engaged in peaceful protest is shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent. Rather than debating the merits of the issue, these Republican lawmakers have chosen to punish, silence, and expel duly-elected representatives of the people of Tennessee." And he called for bans on guns at the federal level.

Biden's first discussion of the shooting on March 27 was also concering the need to curb Americans' gun rights.

In the wake of the expulsion of two of those three members who disrupted the body in which they were elected to serve, leftists called for retribution. "Do we really need Tennessee?" one user asked. "Burn that state to the ground and let nature have it back!"

Dr. Anita Blanchard, an associate professor of psychology and organization science at the University of North Carolina Charlotte, said "Tennessee. Burn it down."

Those two out of three who were expelled are eligible for appointment back to their positions, and can run in the special election that will be scheduled to fill their now vacants seats.
